A system for splicing together multiple sheets of generally rigid material into a continuous sheet. The system includes a cart with a cutting mechanism and a sealing mechanism. The cutting mechanism is configured to cut a pattern of segments through the sheet materials that can be interlocked to form a seam. The interlocking segments may include asymmetrical features. The sealing mechanism can apply tape to the seal to secure it. The splicing system may be used while one of the multiple sheets of generally rigid material is concurrently in use by a packaging machine without interruption to the packaging machine.

A medium processing apparatus includes a liquid applier and a post-processing device. The liquid applier includes a liquid application member including a foam containable a liquid to apply the liquid to a liquid application region in a part of at least one medium of a bundle of media. The post-processing device performs a given process on a post-processing region in the part of at least one medium having the liquid application region on which the liquid is applied by the liquid applier. The liquid applier applies the liquid to the liquid application region overlapped with at least a part of the post-processing region.
